Music - Week 1 & 2

 Air - Music

Our topic in music this half term is 'Air'. In week one, we explored the musical term 'pitch' and the children listened to a piece of music, identifying some dramatic changes in pitch. This week was week 2 and we explored the musical terminology 'timbre' and 'dynamics'. The children enjoyed exploring different types of percussion instruments and the different sounds that they could create. They composed some short pieces of music, all about a cloud. They performed their compositions and the rest of the class described the mood that they had created through their music, using the new musical vocabulary, timbre and dynamics.
